Web Detective Hacking

This took me some time to write up and as I said before, it is an open document and I would greatly appreciate the help of however has the time. I'm sure if we all pitched in, it would make a great read.

So far it's simple, to the point, and has easy examples for anyone willing to learn the basics.

If you do have anything to add post it here PM Me or email me, KP101ST[at]gmail[dot]com and im sorry for the disgusting upload server, as I mentioned in a previous post, my bandwidth for the month was exceeded -_- and I really don't know where else to put it...

I went to the site for my friend and watched one video. The video had a big banner across the bottom of the flash player itself that was covering at least %25 of the video with an advertisement! I clicked the "X" button provided but that just made the text disappear; the white banner was still there! That just made me pissed.

so I had to write about it - I mean, this isn't me trying to tell you how to get certain things, it's more like a "teach a man to fish" situation. She also asked that I add a firefox "about:cache" example into the paper, so instead I made it it's own:

I will soon incorporate the two together, I don't want to do an overkill though you know? Also, the document is still "open";odt for suggestions - additions.
